My first video in a new series profiling cocktails from different regions of the world, and we're kicking it off with a good one. The Aperol Spritz is the ultimate summer aperitif and is as Italian as it gets. In this video I also make the Negroni Sbagliato and an amazing spritz with strawberry, basil and balsamic.

The Australian action comedy Danger 5 is a bizarre, campy, 1960's interpretation of WWII where 5 international spies are going after Hitler and his Nazi dinosaurs. There's also a recurring bit where dying characters spill the beans to a perfect cocktail. Let's recreate a few and see if they really are perfect.

Ah, the Old Fashioned, the world's first classic cocktail and a recipe that's endured for hundreds of years. To celebrate the launch of my beautifully designed t-shirt and pay homage to the OG cocktail, here I make the original recipe as well as 3 of my favorite variations.

The Vodka Soda, the anti-cocktail, bringer of hydration, fuel for your dance parties. This drink may not be featured on any craft cocktail menu, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Here we take this low-cal highball and create some delicious variations.

Cuba's mojito is arguably the world's most popular cocktail and with good reason, it's simple, refreshing, and delicious.

WARNING: Only use liquid nitrogen only if you’ve been trained and are aware of all the hazards involved.

The Irish Coffee is a simple and delicious drink: just coffee, sugar, whiskey, and cream. Here we recreate three legendary recipes from the Buena Vista cafe, Dead Rabbit, and Erin Rose.

Puerto Rico sees your nog of egg, and raises you a "little coconut". This coquito is a delicious, rich and creamy alternative to your holiday nog, and I can't recommend it enough.
